Lyndsey Maher ND, MSAc
Dr. Lyndsey Maher is the owner and clinic director at Soleil.
She is a naturopathic doctor, from which she received her doctorate from the University of Bridgeport College of Naturopathic Medicine (UBCNM), and a Master’s of Acupuncture, from which she received from the University of Bridgeport Acupuncture Institute (UBAI).
When I graduated from the University of Arizona, I had received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. I always thought I would become a lawyer or a politician; something other than a career in medicine, that was my cousin’s [Christina] dream.
However, I found myself coincidentally working at a local medical school as an administrative assistant. I was always the kid who read for fun growing up, so when the learning stopped, I knew I needed to get moving on my actual career path.
I picked up every graduate school study guide - GRE, LSAT, GMAT - you name it, because my thirst for knowledge and “more” was starting the gnaw at me. It wasn’t until I had gotten sick with one of those sinus infections that I used to get as a kid and the nurse practitioner at my doctor’s office told me I need to wait it out and see if it got worse, and then they would see me. Her only suggestion was to consider using a neti pot, but nothing else.
My google acumen served me well when I found some suggestions. Spoiler alert: I did kick it - but it took some time. After that, I searched for a way to make this my future career and thus I found The AANP - American Associated of Naturopathic Physicians - and learned of UB. Essentially, the rest is history.
When she is not pouring her heart and soul into her practice and patients, she enjoys spending time with her long-time significant other and their working line German Shepherd Dogs, Xander and Gigi - one of Xander’s puppies. She recently took up golf and enjoys the humility it brings to keep her grounded both professionally and personally.
She is an active board member with the Connecticut Naturopathic Physician Association (CNPA) and co-chairs the membership committee with the pursuit of member retention and acquisition to foster the interrelationships of the CT-licensed NDs.
How can Dr. Lyndsey Maher help you?
In my experience, patients and clients achieve the best results when they have a clearly defined plan placed in front of them for their health journey ahead. The accountability factor is what I find to be an important component for forward momentum. It is for this reason that I have compiled comprehensive packages to meet the needs of my patient population. Each package outlines what you should expect for the duration of our provider-patient relationship.

Metabolism is a comprehensive term that encompasses various physiological processes, including cardiovascular health, blood sugar regulation, and weight management. When these metabolic processes are out of balance, it can lead to a variety of health issues, from heart disease to diabetes, and even difficulties in maintaining a healthy weight. Understanding and improving your metabolism is essential for achieving overall health and longevity.
If you are someone who struggles with metabolic issues, prioritizing the mending of your metabolism should be a crucial step towards building a strong foundation for a long and healthy life. The journey to metabolic health is highly individualized and depends on various factors, including the duration and severity of your health concerns. Typically, it may take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to see significant improvements, as this time frame allows for gradual and sustainable changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits.
By committing to this process, you not only improve your metabolic health but also enhance your overall well-being, paving the way for a healthier and more fulfilling life.

Dr. Lyndsey Maher on the Dr. Diane Show, The Transformation Network
Dr. Lyndsey Maher discusses how she got into Naturopathic Medicine and Acupuncture and how Soleil came about.
She talks all about the services they offer, the types of patients she sees personally, and her experiences with medicine overall.
Most importantly, she discusses why health doesn’t have to be complicated and how she simplifies it for her patients so they don’t feel overwhelmed. Why you shouldn’t take your medical advice from the “hottest influencer” on social media and if you’re in need of somebody to help you, why its important to reach out to a provider like her.
